LOCK HAVEN — The City of Lock Haven is looking toward future improvements at Hanna Park.

The park, located along Susquehanna Avenue near the city’s border with Allison Township, is poised to have a unique attraction.

“Lock Haven has been awarded a National Fitness Campaign (NFC) Fitness Court Studio, providing the city with new facilities to support healthy lifestyles,” City Planner Abbey Roberts said.

The studio encompasses an outdoor gym and open exercise area built into a court.

According to Roberts, the gym has seven stations — core, squat, push, lunge, pull, bend and agility — for all abilities.

“The open area is a space to hold outdoor fitness groups, yoga classes and more,” she said. “In total, the court stretches 38 feet by 76 feet and provides access to exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels, helping to create a healthy and active community.”

Roberts said to bring the project to life, the city is setting a funding goal of $200,000.

“These funds will be used for the construction, installation and maintenance of the Fitness Court Studio, as well as other improvements to the park,” she said. “The city encourages community members, local businesses and organizations to contribute to this project.”

Roberts said the top five contributors will have the chance to be recognized directly on the fitness court’s wall.

“All contributors will be recognized by signage at the site,” she said. “Every donation is one step closer to bringing this unique fitness amenity to Lock Haven.”

Renovations to Hanna Park will include more than the fitness court, Roberts said, with the city planning office actively looking for input on what may be done to improve the park.

Roberts encourages residents to visit the city’s Civil Space page — https://lockhavenpa.civilspace.io/en/projects/hanna-park — to take the survey. The survey will be open until November and residents may sign up to receive notifications about continued development regarding the park.

City council on Monday night approved the planning department to look into funding options for the proposed fitness center. At the meeting, Roberts said the city received $30,000 to be put toward the project and further noted a construction date was tentatively set for 2025.
